Welch's Kings Crush Li

Level 19 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Jason Li moved all in for 36,500 with {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and was called bu the {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} of Chris Welch in the hijack. Li was clearly dismayed to have run such a big hand into one of the fews hands that had him crushed.

The board ran out {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts} and Li was sent packing. On the other hand, Welch is up to 130,000.

Big Slick No Good for Hutchins

Level 19 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Action folded around to the blinds and somehow Nick Hutchins found himself all in for his short stack from the big blind with {A-}{K-} up against the {10-Spades}{6-Clubs} of Kurt Jewell.

Hutchins was in a good spot until the flop fell {Q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. Jewell hit his six to take the lead and stayed there as the {8-Clubs} was put out on the turn and the {9-Diamonds} on the river.

With about 140,000 in the pot and a board reading {10-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}, Kevin Calenzo and Jeff Gibralter got all the money in, about 94,500 each, with the former being the one at risk.

Gibralter: {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Calenzo: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}

As it happened, Gibralter had hit a wheel on the turn to take the lead in the 335,000 pot, but Calenzo could still win the hand with a spade on the river. Unfortunately for him, it was the {7-Clubs} and he was left shaking his head in addition to a small stack of 30,000.

Harden Trips Kirk

Level 19 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Kirk Tripp

One of the more interesting stories coming into Day 2 was that of Tripp Kirk, who had won Event #17 ($555 6-Handed NLHE/213 players) for a gold circuit ring and a $25,220 payday. Kirk was looking to finish fifth or better in the Main Event to claim the title of Harrah's Tunica Casino Champion and qualify for the WSOPC National Championship.

Unfortunately for Kirk, his plans were tripped up. It happened when he moved all in for around 50,000 with {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} and was called by the {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} of Mary Harden. While Kirk managed to survive the {2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{J-Hearts} flop, the {A-Diamonds} on the turn gave Harden the lead. Kirk needed a nine on the river but it was not meant to be as the {6-Hearts} appeared. Kirk's Main Event and hopes of becoming Casino Champ have come to an end.
